“Tort reform”
No-Fault? Insurance attorneys question proposed personal injury protection limits
Insurance attorney tells Michigan Lawyers Weekly that PIP Choice is a boondoggle for insurance companies and terrible for car accident victims
Insurance attorney Steven M. Gursten, partner of Michigan Auto Law, was quoted in a Michigan Lawyers Weekly story about a wave of No-Fault insurance “reform.”
Some of the “reform” measures, he said, are a “boondoggle for the insurance companies and terrible for everyone else.”
Gursten said he’s concerned that the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association would no longer have to pay lifetime benefits as it does now on all claims in excess of $500,000.
“As people stop paying into the system where there will be less money to pay for catastrophic claims,” he said, “No matter what we’re paying for insurance, that doesn’t change the fact that 700-800 people every year will be catastrophically injured.”

Michigan too “tort-reformed” already
Personal injury lawyer’s opinion editorial on tort law – and how it’s hurting car accident victims – is featured in the Detroit Free Press
Robert M. Raitt, personal injury lawyer and partner of Michigan Auto Law, wrote the Detroit Free Press about the state of Michigan’s tough personal injury laws – that are putting accident victims’ health and well-being in jeopardy.
Said Raitt in the Detroit newspaper, “Our crippled economy, record unemployment and foreclosures, and the environmental catastrophe in the gulf have revealed the lies of tort reform, and the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) asking for more brings to mind the classic definition of insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again and hoping for different results.”

Personal injury attorney: “Tort reform” a failed experiment in legal-social engineering
Bob Raitt writes Michigan Lawyers Weekly letter to the editor on the destructive nature of tort reform to Michigan families and auto accident victims
Personal injury attorney Robert M. Raitt writes Michigan Lawyers Weekly on the failed doctrine of “tort reform” in Michigan.
Bob says tort reform has brought:
* A hobbled justice system that functions as a puppet for special interests,
* Tens of thousands of injured, wronged and cheated people who have no way to hold wrongdoers accountable,
* Hundreds of millions of dollars in costs dumped on tax payers instead of being paid by those responsible, and
* An economy that’s behaving exactly as if the snake oil of tort reform were poison.
